The Technical Program for APNFM 2008
will cover all aspects of the production and processing of novel
functional materials and particulate processing technologies through a
program of plenary presentations and reviews. These will focus on
topics of all kinds of production methods for ultra-fine grained
materials or functional materials in appreciable amounts:
Preparation of nanopowders, Rapid solidification, Nanopowder
consolidation, Sintering (incl. Spark Plasma Sintering and Microwave
sintering), Mechanical Alloying, Shock compaction, Severe plastic
deformation
- Characterization
techniques
- Diamond Tools, Cemented
carbides, Cermets
- Thermoelectrics,
Piezoelectrics, Magnetic Materials
- Nanostructured and
Ultra-fine-grained Materials,
Nanocomposites, Catalysts, Materials for thermal management, Electrical
/ Electronic Materials, Hydrogen Storage Materials
